The Lexington Dispatch, Entered 'at the Post Office at Lexington, S.C., as second class matter. G. M. Harman, Editor and Publisher. The subscription price of the Dispatch is $1 a year; 50 cents fcr six months; 25 cents for three months?invariably cash in advance. j Circulation, 2,197. Wednesday, March 28, 1906. The Trolly Line. The surveyors of the Trolly Line have ccme and passed on through our town. They came pretty well up the old Augusta road from sear Brooklend, as wo stated last week, I deviating but little as they came. At or near Mr. Jas. W. Corley's residence, beyond the rock quarry, about ft mile below town. Tbey made as near a direct line as the situation would allow for LexingtoD, which crossed Twelve Mile Creek in front of Judge Wicgard'a on to lands of Eli L. Corley, and theDce up the creek and across by Mr. Mike Wingard's place; continuing through di. rect, taking the home of Mr. Hall, nearly centrally in front cf the Baptist church, where they again crossed the Augusta road, through the Fort place, lands of G. M. Harman and W. P. Roof, crossing depot street ' fthrmfrlhO vards south of the town j ball. Here on the fat ridge of Mr. Roof it is likely a depot will be erected. By tbeir survey they reached Lexington from Brookfana in less than eleven miles. From here the route continues over aod through the Muiier lands, on to those of E J. p George. Here they diverge a little northwest on lands of Mrs. D. L George, passing near D. E. Ballentine's place, through laods of W. W. Barr, Ado Leapharfc, Milledge Harris, Rev. W. D. Quick, to the Rawl old field, again on the Augusta road. TKow Tuill lifcfllv ?nn*inue ud said *MWJ J -r road nearly direct for Leeaviile by Shiloah church, Scz. Oar people are delighted with the idea of having this road which certainly will enhance their property and be of inestimable value to the community through which it passes. Let the land owners throw no obstacles, unnecessarily, in the way as to its construction, but aid in every way possible.. The conference of prominent prohibitionist held in Columbia last week is said to have had no politics in it, but was purely an effort to deal with the liquor question from a scientific point of view, and the movement promises good. It has always been our opinion that it is best to eliminate the liquor question entirely from politics. If we are to have the question settled by the people of the State, let the executive committee furnish boxes at the primary election in every county and allow tbe people to express themselves on tbe question of liquor or no liquor." Mixing men with this questiou will likely not give us the most efficient officers. ? Capt. Charles Ioglesby. a gallant Confederate veteran, distinguished lawyer and for thirty-tive years secretary of the grand lodge of Masons of this State, died in tbe 68:h year of hie age, at the residence of his sonin-law, Dr. E. M. Wbaley, in Columbia, March 26th. He bad been in declining health for about two years, and tbe end, tbougb sudden, was not unexpected. His remains were buried io Charleston. Gen. Carwile has accepted tbe invitation to hold the reunion of Confederate veterans in C)lumbiasome time in May, and tbe citizens are go ing to entertain the old soldiers in grand style. Samuel Wingard Dead. We have just learned of the death of Mr. Samuel Wingard, who moved from this county to Orangeburg oounty about twenty years ago, and died there on the 26th February, 1906, in the 78th year of his age. He will be remembered by the members j of company K, 20th Regiment, S. C. V., and was a jovial aDd faithful soldier, but be has answered the last roll call here and past over the river to wait the bngal call above. He was a good neighbor and citizen and warm fiiend. Si -; For Thin Babies Fat is of great account to a baby; that is why babies are fat If your baby is scrawny, Scott's Emulsion is what he wants. The healthy baby stores as fat what it does not need immediately for bone and muscle. Fat babies are happy ; they do not cry; they are rich; their fat is laid up for time of need. They are happy because they are comfortable. The fat surrounds their little nerves and cushions them. When H-iov nrp srrawnv those nerves are liurt at every ungentle touch. They delight in Scott's Emulsion. It is as sweet as wholesome to them.

It i9 too important a part ot every well regulated come to do overlooked, aDd to have the beet results, buy your seed at the Bazaar. There are more rumors afloat to the effect that another cotton mill will be built here in the near future We hope it will prove more than a rumor. There is plenty of room for such a mill and it would be a great benefit to Lexington. If you are needing furniture of any kind, rugs, art squares and a lot of other articles that makes home comfortable and happy, it is useless to go elsewhere than to Scott Hendr<x1s. His prices are always lowest. Call and see the stock. Don't you think if we had a system of water works or water supply from a stand pipe or steel tank the property in town would be much safer. In case of fire it will be too late to call for water. A bucket brigade wili not answer evervtime. Mr. Jacob Wingard, of the Pilgrim eection, was in town Saturday, prompt, ae usual, called in and renewed his paper, this beiDg the 35th year he has subscribed for aod read the Dispatch. He is one of our wgrtomrades and a warm friend. There is not many 9uch men as Jake. Rev. C. J. Sox has resigned the WiHis-Gladesboro pastorate in Virginia. and has accepted a call from Mt Pleasant pastorate, Saluda, S C , and will take charge of the work about the 2d Sunday in April. On bis return he will stop over to visit his relatives in this section. The case of Elliott Gunter aDd wife vs. Burt Fallow and wife, to test title to land, before F. E. Dreher as referee, brought to town today a number of citizens from the Edisto sec tion, as witnesses. Asbill and Sharpe are attorneys for the plaintiffs, and Graham and Martin are for the defendants.
